So we gave them a nuke abortion?
Comment on After Israel and USA's bombing, wouldn't any supposed nuclear bombs go off if there were any?

From my understanding, Iran doesn’t have nuclear weapons yet. What they destroyed is essentially a factory that creates one of the key ingredients required for making nuclear weapons. It’s not a weapon yet, and it’s not explosive yet. Iran’s still a ways away from making that.
I super highly recommend William Spaniel on YouTube. He hasn’t covered this bombing yet (I’m sure he will within a few hours), but a few days ago he did briefly go over the process of making nuclear bombs, you should check it out: youtu.be/XA1CQp_oJ90?t=480
Either way it’s an amazing channel for understanding world affairs, I really can’t recommend it enough. Go watch any of his recent videos, they’re short and well worth it.

US intelligence repeatedly states Iran is not building a nuclear weapon, and there is no evidence any actions have been related to a nuclear bomb since 2003. They do have nuclear power plants, heavy water plants, etc which enriched uranium is used for though.

Iran is a member of the Treaty Against Nuclear Proliferation and as such has international oversight into its nuclear programs. If they actually did have a program, Team America World Police and Israel wouldn’t be the ones telling the world. This is all a lie to bomb more brown people.

Yes spot on, not to mention UN and IAEA investigators regularly poking around. Though I don’t think the IAEA will be welcome anymore after evidence emerged of them being compromised by Israel

Iran has consistently hid nuclear refinement facilities from international inspection, and there have been numerous reports of materials and facilities that serve no civilian purpose over the past 20 years, when such activity is in violation of international agreements.

IAEA has been revealed to be Israel’s puppet

You’re missing a word there. US assessment is that Iran is not currently building nuclear weapons. The nuclear weapons programme has been frozen for many years. However it is still actively generating the materials required to assemble a weapon, and if the programme is reactivated it won’t take long to get to a working weapon.
